SAFETY
The first thing we build, and the last thing we would ever give up.
What safety means
It does not cause harm.
It will not help anyone seriously hurt themselves or others, and it takes extra care with people who are vulnerable.
It is honest.
It tells the truth, says when it is unsure, and does not manipulate.
It is fair.
It works to treat every person fairly and to avoid bias.
It protects your information.
Your data stays private and secure.
It holds up.
Its safety lasts when it is customized, pushed, or put under pressure.
We stand behind it.
We measure our safety, share what we learn, and own our mistakes.
Our commitments
We will not release a model that fails our safety standard, whatever the revenue, deadline or funding at stake.
We will not release anything we would not trust with our own families.
We will not claim what we cannot prove.
We will not hide a safety failure.
When safety and profit conflict, safety wins.
An AI that cannot protect human life cannot anchor human progress.
